But I knew it as J2. Like, that’s what it was called in the Big Bang, that’s what everybody labeled their stories.

Yeah, J2 was the phrase I remember and I wasn't super into SPN fandom back in the day. (I still watch and occasionally read, but I've never been super into the fandom.)

First, “The Real Ghostbusters,” where they first encounter a fan convention. I had learned through hard experience that when show runners looked at their fans it always hurt (just ask West Wing).

Oh, man, yes. You absolutely summed up my reaction to that episode.

Deep down, I don't want the streams to cross. I'm quite happy with fandom doing our thing and creators making their shows and not trying to interact directly.

Second, “Hammer of the Gods.” I doubt this episode is even remembered?

I remember it. Mostly as an incredible ripoff of American Gods and being amused by the idea of it... but it then went nowhere. As they got deeper into writer-as-god and christianity, the idea of multiple gods or other sources of divine power just totally got forgotten.
